Elon Musk, the owner of the social media platform X, just shared some big news. X will soon let you make video and audio calls, making it more than just a regular app. In a post, Musk said, “Video & audio calls coming to X.” Although he didn’t say exactly when these features will be ready, it’s definitely something to look forward to.
The best part is that you can use these calling features on different devices like iPhones, Android phones, Mac computers, and PCs. And guess what? You won’t even need a phone number to use them.
Musk also mentioned that X is like a global address book that’s super effective. He thinks X has a special combination of features that you won’t find anywhere else.
Remember, just last month, Musk and his new CEO Linda Yaccarino shared that they’re changing Twitter into X. They want X to be an app that does everything, kind of like China’s WeChat. So, you’ll be able to chat with friends and manage your money all in one place.
And that’s not all! X’s payment part, Twitter Payments LLC, got an important license from Rhode Island. This means X can do stuff with cryptocurrency, like wallets, payments, and more. With this license, X can help you safely store and exchange digital money.
So, get ready for some cool new features on X – the app that’s becoming more than just social media!
Twitter’s Advertising Business Declines Under Musk’s Leadership, Shifts Focus to Subscriptions
Ever since Elon Musk acquired Twitter in October, the platform’s advertising business has faced challenges due to his management approach and significant staff layoffs that affected content oversight.
In response, Musk has taken steps to attract a subscriber base and introduce a payment model to generate new income.
However, both users and advertisers have reacted negatively to the platform’s new fees for services that were once free. Changes to content oversight and the revival of previously banned far-right accounts have also received backlash.
Notably, Musk has also redesigned the Twitter logo, replacing the well-known blue bird with a white X.
